Society for Conservation Biology Oceania

Founded in 2005, Society for Conservation Biology Oceania is a non-profit association based in Sydney, Australia working on nature & wildlife conservation, science & research, environment & climate.

The Society for Conservation Biology Oceania Section is the Oceania regional section of the global Society for Conservation Biology. Formed in 2005, it is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity in Australia. It works to increase the impact and influence of conservation science and knowledge on management, education and policy across Oceania, covering the sub-regions of Australia, Melanesia, Micronesia, Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia. Its activities include policy work through a Policy Working Group, student awards, conferences and joint events, and local chapters that let members take part in regional conservation initiatives. The section is governed by an elected independent board, with member-elected and board-appointed directors. Members can access a discounted subscription to the journal Pacific Conservation Biology, and the section invites tax-deductible donations to support on-ground conservation, policy influence and training of future conservation scientists.
